[Kage]

Who is this M. Ward clown?

[br3ad_man]

The best singer/songwriter around at the moment, probably.

[_Mote_]

No, that title goes to Mr. Joseph Arthur.

I still can't believe most of you guys haven't heard of him.

[Bukowski]

Minutemen - Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat, and The Punch Line

[_Mote_]

YD, did you close my x-mas thread because you're a jew?

[YDload]

i am not a jew, you are.

[_Mote_]

i too, listened to jerome's dream 50 times

[_Mote_]

!!! never really appealed to me either.

I didn't like 'Let's take Ecstacy' (i think that's what it was called) all that much. I agree, they're good songs, but they don't have the specific fealing that I'm really looking for.

[pulseczar]

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
memories... i lost this a long time ago and picked it up a few days ago. still makes me laugh, but that's normal ain't it, norman?

[AlienEater]

Glenn Branca - Symphony No 2

The first movement is incredible, but nothing else has really impressed me a lot yet. I'm going to get the first symphony next, definitely.

[_Mote_]

I only got 2 CD's for Christmas today, but I've been listening to them in between playing with my phone and boring dinner conversations...

Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime
Big Black - Rich Man's 8-Track

Albini's rant in the Big Black notes is easily worth the price for it alone :lol:

[Eliminator]

Glenn Branca - Symphony No 2

The first movement is incredible, but nothing else has really impressed me a lot yet. I'm going to get the first symphony next, definitely.

Eleventh Dream Day

[Eliminator]

Second listen it was good.

So it's probably a grower? Or you'll just hate it I dunno.

[asymm]

Khanate - Capture/Release
Giddy Motors - Do Easy

[EightMilesHigh]

Housemartins
Billy Bragg
Aztec Camera

[EightMilesHigh]

Big Black

[EightMilesHigh]

Duke Ellington

[NineBitFable]

I finally picked up Hail to the Theif, pretty nice stuff. It seems to get a lot of mixed feelings, but I think its great, because as much as I'd love to 'get' all of that ambient noodling on Kid A, unless I'm in the right mindset I just don't.

[EightMilesHigh]

Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs

[Hedgedive]

Dead Or Alive

[Swami]

Velvet Underground/Lou Reed - Waiting for the man/Venus in Furs b/w Street Hassle

[Eliminator]

James Brown - 20 Greatest Hits!

Sometimes I'm convinced that James Brown invented krautrock. Without the noise.

I'm digging the albums I bought today. All awesome.

[ATM]

What'd you get?

[Eliminator]

Pavement - Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One
Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow

[ATM]

Nice, all great albums.

[br3ad_man]

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One

That album is good to listen to when you drive around at night.

[Hedgedive]

I got I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your *** for my mom. That and LOVE (Beatles).

[ATM]

That album is good to listen to when you drive around at night.

Especially Moby Octopad.

[br3ad_man]

It's best when you play "Return to Hot Chicken" and then "Moby Octopad".

[Bartender]

Scott Matthews - Passing Stranger

Pretty good, this. Perhaps a little bit disappointing given how good "Dream Song" is, but still. Singer-songwriter type stuff with something on a frequent emphasis on Eastern-like sounds (healthy dose of tabla, for example), optimistically I think it'd appeal to Jeff Buckley/Nick Drake enthusiasts. And if not, you should all at least hear "Dream Song".

[Happymeal]

Bonnie "Prince" Billy & Matt Sweeney - Superwolf

and

Wilco - Summerteeth


I read that this is Wilco's "pop" album but I couldn't connect to the songs as well as I did with YHF's, though there are some really fantastic lines in it.

The ashtray says..

[sexymuffin]

um LCD Soundsystem

you must have typed this by accident

becuase they are so terrible.

[br3ad_man]

Mogwai - Mr. Beast

This album is the ****, seriously.

[BillCosby]

TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Young Money Entertainment Presents... - Lil Weezy Ana

[Eliminator]

Best Jay-Z album.

[Eliminator]

Why did The Blueprint make that RS list.

i mean it's a good album

but i mean seriously it's not that good wtf

[_Mote_]

Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out

[_Mote_]

Why did The Blueprint make that RS list.

i mean it's a good album

but i mean seriously it's not that good wtf

Well, Kanye produced it, and RS are obsessed with him.

[Eliminator]

Kanye didn't even produce half of it.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Deerhoof - Apple O'
Girl Talk - Night Ripper
Band Of Horses - Everything All The Time

[_Mote_]

Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube.

Hot damn, this is one fine song.

Earth - Earth 2

[AlienEater]

This Heat - S/T

This is awesome.

[asdf]

James Brown - Live at the Apollo 1963

RIP

[mr_jackalope]

This Heat - S/T

This is awesome.

Made Available: The Peel Sessions > Deceit > s/t

And the s/t is still wicked. What an absolutely killer band.

[mr_jackalope]

yeah, you're definitely right about the new LCD Soundsystem DMD. It's a great record, it's going to do well for itself.[/i]

If I severely disliked their first album, would I like this at all? ie. was there any sort of change in direction?

[asymm]

If I severely disliked their first album, would I like this at all? ie. was there any sort of change in direction?I'd say it's worth listening to a few tracks. I wasn't much of a fan of the first record either, this one is a great improvement. You can hear some real nice, direct New Order stylings.

[pixiesfanyo]

A quick nap.

[sexymuffin]

ugh i swear to god if i check out this new lcd soundsystem and it blows i'm going to have vengence upon all who said it was worth listening to

[mr_jackalope]

I'd say it's worth listening to a few tracks. I wasn't much of a fan of the first record either, this one is a great improvement. You can hear some real nice, direct New Order stylings.

I'll take your word for it...it's free Oink week.

[Electrocution]

Gospel broke up. I am thrown into a pit of confusion. This really really sucks a lot a lot a lot a lot.

[Zebra]

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Mezzanine > Endtroducing. Simple as that.

[Jacaranda]

Mezzanine > Endtroducing. Simple as that.
totally and absolutely correct. the first three tracks of mezzanine. omigod.

[_Mote_]

Elliott Smith - Roman Candle

[Eliminator]

Pavement.

[_Mote_]

Jesus Lizard - Liar

[YDload]

Jesus Lizard - Liar

youre copying off of me (im listening to it, me!)

[_Mote_]

I'm on 'The Art of Self-Defence' atm.

Great minds think alike (:-*

[YDload]

i just got done with the album for about the 4th time, according to itunes

[_Mote_]

The day that I got it, I listened to it 8 times, I kid you not.

[_Mote_]

I'm listening to Lou Reed - New York now.

...And Romeo had Juliet, and Juliet had her Romeo!!

[Zmev]

Duran Duran
Madonna
Wham!

Its one of those days.

[The Jungler]

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Mezzanine > Endtroducing. Simple as that.No way, though I do need to listen to Mezzanine again.

Kiss Kiss - Reality Vs. The Optimist This has the potential to make a run at my favorite albums of the year list.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Duran Duran
Madonna
Wham!

Its one of those days.
A good day?

[AlienEater]

Made Available: The Peel Sessions > Deceit > s/t

And the s/t is still wicked. What an absolutely killer band.

I need to get those it seems. s/t is great.

[YDload]

Goat > Down > Liar = Head > Shot > Blue

actually Liar is better than Head, but it still has weak stuff like "Perk" and "Slave Ship"

Slave Ship is awesome

it actually has some sort of meaning to it and the guitar riff is ****ing sweet.

[Zebra]

Liar > Goat

It's really close but I got Liar first so I tend to like it better. The rest of their albums are really bad except for maybe Head.

and "Slave Ship" is cool but not even close to the best off the album. That prize goes to either "Zacharia" or "Boilermaker."

[Electrocution]

listening to Tim Hecker's Harmony in Ultraviolet. seems pretty decent ambient style.

[YDload]

Zachariah is just a slower version of Slave Ship, but maybe thats why i like em both so much

my fav. right now is prolly Rope. its like Meat Puppets but angrier

[mr_jackalope]

I need to get those it seems. s/t is great.

They put out a boxset this year called Out of Cold Storage. It's worth it, includes basically everything.

Seriously though, those Peel Sessions are the best I've ever heard. I cannot believe they were recored in the 70s, it sounds modern for now.

[AlienEater]

I've seen that box set advertised somewhere and I think I'll get it. I'll definitely get more by them, maybe the Peel Sessions.

[mr_jackalope]

Ok, so I'm gonna concede to DMD and say the first track of the LCD Soundsystem album is really, really good. How the hell did they pull this off after that trashheap of a first album?

[Swami]

**** you talk some smack sometimes. I'm sure you don't actually believe half of what you post.

Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
Bailter Space - Robot World

[Swami]

debatable...

Cuz there was no respect, no presence to be had anymore. Plus I've only been posting lately due to extreme boredom...and computer access.

[br3ad_man]

Do you like Jakob dude?

[Electrocution]

listening to I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One for the second time through (consecutively). nearing the end, i feel a third round coming on.

[_Mote_]

Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II

Such a great record.

[ATM]

What's the new LCD Soundsystem called?

[Jacaranda]

sound of silver i don't think its out yet though.

[_Mote_]

DMD is a dirty little pirate.

[Happymeal]

I got it too. Don't like it as much though.

[ATM]

Alright, gonna give this a whirl.

[Swami]

Do you like Jakob dude?

I do, I do indeed. Really good band - one of the only "post rock" bands that I can stomach. Whysat?

[Eliminator]

The song "Little Boys".

i can relate

[_Mote_]

Mono Men - "Wrecker!"

Good garage rock.

[ATM]

Amesoeurs - Ruines Humaines

this rules

[br3ad_man]

I do, I do indeed. Really good band - one of the only "post rock" bands that I can stomach. Whysat?

I've been listening to them a lot and I saw that they're supporting Isis in your country and then I remembered you mentioned them once. Are you going to Isis?

[Montana]

Rocky Votolato - Makers

I'm in love with his voice

[class]

I love Votolato...I think Suicide Medicine is better than Makers..

ok **** everything else I've been listening to

Geisha - Mondo Dell'orrore

short, fast metal songs buried in disgusting amounts of white noise and feedback. This is great, I am happy.

http://www.myspace.com/geishanoiseresearchgroup

listen to "Geisha vs. Mechachrist" and you can be happy too.

Is this sarcasm or are you serious?

[YDload]

i like votolato's voice too. he writes good songs i guess :)

[class]

His music is addictive..

edit dmd: just curious...

[Swami]

I've been listening to them a lot and I saw that they're supporting Isis in your country and then I remembered you mentioned them once. Are you going to Isis?

Yeah if I have money at the time I'll definately go. It's gonna be a busy month for me if I go - Kasabian sidey, BDO,BDO after party, Roger Waters, Isis, Calexico, The Bronx and poss. Joanna Newson, all in the space of a month (ish).

[class]

ugh they suck dmd...well they might be good for whatever they're playing I guess...I'm not into it

[YDload]

Yeah if I have money at the time I'll definately go. It's gonna be a busy month for me if I go - Kasabian sidey, BDO,BDO after party, Roger Waters, Isis, Calexico, The Bronx and poss. Joanna Newson, all in the space of a month (ish).

i saw roger waters (dad wanted me and my bros to go so i did) and he did pretty well. the traditional flying pig balloon got untethered and escaped. fun times.

[class]

reminds me of that simpsons episode

[Swami]

i saw roger waters (dad wanted me and my bros to go so i did) and he did pretty well. the traditional flying pig balloon got untethered and escaped. fun times.

I've wanted to see Pink Floyd live ever since I was about 6, and I've seen tribute shows (full one ones) before and now this is the closest I'm ever gonna get to seein' them in the flesh (see what I did there?) - I'm pretty damm excited, and so's the Old Man.

[br3ad_man]

Yeah if I have money at the time I'll definately go. It's gonna be a busy month for me if I go - Kasabian sidey, BDO,BDO after party, Roger Waters, Isis, Calexico, The Bronx and poss. Joanna Newson, all in the space of a month (ish).

wait what

Calexico?

I probably won't get to see The Bronx, they're playing a $70 festival with a bunch of shitty pop-punk bands.

[FA]

calex + newsom = woo

[br3ad_man]

I'm seeing Joanna Newsom with a friend from school and possibly my English teacher from last year. Should be pretty great.

[bmxrunner]

Jeff Buckley

[AlienEater]

Dinosaur Jr - J Mascis Live at CBGB's: The First Acoustic Show

This is actually pretty good.

[asymm]

Melvins - Houdini

Which Melvins should I go to from here?

[AlienEater]

Stag

[ATM]

The new one rules too.

Yea Nacho this LCD Soundsystem is pretty sweet, I never heard the earlier one that people said was bad so I was listening with fresh ears.

[EightMilesHigh]

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Live

If any of you are into swing/big band revival bands, check them out. Incredible live show.

[br3ad_man]

Low - Long Division
Philip Glass - Glassworks
Scarface - The Diary
Converge - Jane Doe

I picked up the Scarface record secondhand for $5 because I remember it being mentioned on here. It's awesome, like NWA without the cheese or something.

[The Jungler]

Philip Glass - GlassworksI've had this record sitting at the foot of my bass amp forever and I still haven't listened to it.

I guess I probably should one of these days.

[pixiesfanyo]

Yeah man it's one of the best things ever.

[Zmev]

Bonnie Prince Billy - I See a Darkness

Am I supposed to do some ritual to enjoy this or something?

[asymm]

Bonnie Prince Billy - I See a Darkness

Am I supposed to do some ritual to enjoy this or something?
This record is painstakingly perfect.

Continued with my metal kick:
Boris - Pink
Melvins - Houdini
Mastodon - Blood Mountain

[Little Man being Erased]

All Springsteen, all the time.

[EightMilesHigh]

I think Little Man and I are two of the few Springsteen fans here.

Sigur Ros - ()

It's a type of music that makes you want to completely give up because you know in your heart you will never produce anything as heart-wrenchingly beautiful as this.

[FA]

Sigur Ros gets old..fast

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Sigur Ros is good but I only listen to them occasionally now.

I See A Darkness is not good!

That's one of the so called great records that I couldn't get into. And I like almost anything.
...what about it am I missing?

I listened to it a few times but it seemed boring.
And I listen to a lot of music some people would consider a lot more boring than that.
So...I dunno.

i am digging:
Hot Snakes - Audit In Progress
Envy - Insomniac Dose
Do Make Say Think - You, You're A History In Rust
!!! - Myth Takes
Deerhoof - Apple O'
Belle & Sebastian - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant
Girl Talk - Night Ripper

[Robert Crumb]

Mostly the Associates stuff I bought. So many awesome songs. Great sound.

[_Mote_]

Atomizer - Big Black

Well, actually, it's the Rich Man's Eight-Track Tape, but whatever.

[Bukowski]

Lilys - Everything Wrong is Imaginary

I bought this because it has a cool cover (and wasn't expensive). Turns out the music is cool also.

[_Mote_]

I love buying albums just because the cover work is cool.

I've discovered a few pretty cool bands that way.

[Kyle]

Semifinalists - Semifinalists
OutKast - ATliens
Jamie T - Panic Prevention

[_Mote_]

Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss

[sweboy]

Dungen - Stadsvandringar
Comets on Fire - Avatar
Shai Hulud - That Within Blood Ill-Tempered

[asymm]

Mark Kozelek - Little Drummer Boy - Live
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

[Happymeal]

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Pajo - 1968

And on I See a Darkness, I think I understand its appeal, but I don't enjoy it as much as Viva Last Blues.

[Eliminator]

washing machine \eliminator/

[Little Man being Erased]

yeah Springsteen sucks.

Sigur Ros is good.
This post is so wrong it's funny.

[PECOAE]

Jeff Buckley - Grace
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Prince & the Revolution - Purple Rain
Television - Marquee Moon

[YDload]

[pixiesfanyo]

Eluvium - An Accidental Memory In The Case Of Death

[Zmev]

The Streets - Original Pirate Material

Got this and 11 other CDs today. Reminder of how good the Streets used to be.

[sexymuffin]

if your name was Sarah Assbring you would use a stage name too

hahaha that sucks

[YDload]

omg i still cant believe that daydream nation is really as good as the hype says

is it common knowledge that Candle is one of the best songs? i seem to remember people talking about it a lot and it would make sense.

[Zmev]

Candle is a sweet song, just like [any other song on DN].

[br3ad_man]

Springsteen is the ****. So is I See A Darkness.

Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid...
The Cooper Temple Clause - Kick Up the Fire...
M. Ward - Post-War
Thom Yorke - The Eraser

[bleep_bloop]

ive been digging me some peter bjorn and john
good stuff.

[Kyle]

The Streets - Original Pirate Material

Got this and 11 other CDs today. Reminder of how good the Streets used to be.Love that album.

New one kinda sucked, but the first two were great.

[Sepstrup]

I sorta hate The Streets.

Solomon Burke, James Carr and Elvis Costello have dominated my playlist lately. Yay for that.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Streets rule. A Grand Don't Come for Free is seriously in my top 5 albums of this decade.

[_Mote_]

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything

Thanks to Neoteric for uploading this

[Eliminator]

bad album

[_Mote_]

I disagree.

I have my opinions, you have yours.

[Eliminator]

I have facts and I'm voting yes.

[Electrocution]

Isis - Celestial

what good music. what mediocre production.

[_Mote_]

harhar.

It is a really good album though.

[AlienEater]

I have heard one song. It was ok but nothing amazing

[EightMilesHigh]

DOWNHILL

[Eliminator]

first track is horrible

then it gets good

then horrible agin

[pixiesfanyo]

No horrible always.

[_Mote_]

Feck you all.

I think it's pretty good.

[_Mote_]

I mean, it's no Loveless, and it is a lot more unfocused and sloppy, but it is a great record IMO.

Stephan Malkamus disagrees with all you guys too.

[bleep_bloop]

what are you talking about, kevin sheilds drove the record label bankrupt because of all the money he spent on it.

[The Jungler]

My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me the Workhorse

lovely album.

[asdf]

I've been digging all the music on my computer that I've personally checked if it's properly tagged.

that's 843 songs out of 8,000 :(

[pixiesfanyo]

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

ugh. so good.

[The Jungler]

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

ugh. so good.Truth. Not quite as good as their debut though.

[pixiesfanyo]

uh. no it's like the best thing they ever did.

it's so white trash middle class i'm poor as **** get drunk smoke alot and need to get laid.

[Luxor]

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

ugh. so good.

That is a good one.

And, Isn't Anything > Loveless.

[Zebra]

Frank Zappa - We're Only In It For the Money

Strange album. I can dig it.

[bleep_bloop]

Ellen Allien - Berlinette

[_Mote_]

what are you talking about, kevin sheilds drove the record label bankrupt because of all the money he spent on it.

Yea, so it's OBVIOUSLY a bad record :rolleyes:

[AlienEater]

Storm and Stress - s/t

This kinda sounds like a slowed down retarded Don Cab or Battles (it also has Ian Williams from both of those) with, uh, "indie" singing.

I like it

[mr_jackalope]

what are you talking about, kevin sheilds drove the record label bankrupt because of all the money he spent on it.

That would be Loveless, not Isn't Anything.

I'm listening to the bonus disc for Bonnie Prince Billy's The Letting Go, Little Lost Blues. This is damn nice.

[bleep_bloop]

oh, yeah. i didnt read that right, my bad.

[Matt?]

not diggin kayo dot on it's last limbs

maybe even done

[Robert Crumb]

Arthur Russell - First Thought Best Thought

Hadn't heard this one before, more of a display of his classical background, almost no suggestion of his dance stuff. It's kinda neat, though. All instrumentals. Some of the stuff on the first disc is kind of like Velvet Underground for a nine-piece band, others have a more pop-jazz kinda thing going on. And then there's some ambient, a cello suite and a 9-minute track of weird electronic noodling. Fun fun.
